Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.

Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose also the first announcement of death.

If they can prove that I am wrong by that time, I will give it up to their wisdom, but not after to any one's judgment, till I see the end of another year for the Lord will begin with a new century and I will see what he will do, before I will hearken to any man's judgment.

You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact.
